Trivia
- When the Chainsaw's Death attack is used, Edgar and Gogo don a hockey goalie's mask in similar fashion to Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
- The Chainsaw's appearance in Final Fantasy VII as one of Barret's arm attachments may be a reference to Ash from the Evil Dead franchise who famously uses a chainsaw in place of his missing hand.
